COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
This dark ale pays homage to the American Brown Ale style, presenting dark with a deep sherry-red hue. The palate has caramel and chocolate and a lightly roasted finish. Hop bitterness and aromatic character are balanced and pleasantly textured.

Draught at MONA, Hobart. Poured a translucnet clear deep mahogany red with a 5mm tan dense foam head that retained well and laced well. Carbonation moderate, slow and medium to coarse. Aroma of sweet malt with hints of chocolate. Taste is slightly roasted, slight sweetness, slight coffee and hints of milk chocolate. Light body. Crisp, clean and smooth with a slight but nice bitterness on a short finish.

basement dark, not much head but sits with a cesspool of crema. Licorice nose, sips chocolate with burnt caramel centre. Light and malty, having grown up on old styles like this one it becomes a comfort beer for me and maybe best drunk in more autumnal circumstances.

From a bottle. Pours a dark copper brown with thin lacing head. Aroma is soft, with toast, chocolate and coffee. Taste is coffee, toffee and a touch of liquorice. Palate is a nice medium body. Moderately carbonated. Really good.
